Never Read It!

---

Happy Tuesday! This week's topic really had me overthinking it. There are so many books I have not read, so many author's backlists I want to read. I didn't know where to start. That had me thinking about books lots of people read, and let's be honest, one category those books fall into are "required reading". I think my high school did a fairly good job exposing me to many of the classics, but there are still so many I haven't read (and most likely won't). I chose ten that I feel were part of everyone else's required reading but mine. Maybe the variability is due to the way our English curriculum was structured.  We had grade 9 and grade 10 standard English classes. The last two years, we got to pick from a list of classes. My sister took Gothic Tradition where they read classic horror. I took American Literature, a film class where we read the books and watched the adaptations, and creative writing. My American Lit class was themed each year, so the books changed, but they were always popular classics. 

1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I did read Steinbeck, just not this one. We read The Pearl when I was in 9th grade. 
2. The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway - Again, I read a Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms in grade 10. 
3. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
4. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury - I didn't read Bradbury for school, but I did read some of his stories. My choir also did a piece that was based on one of his books. 
5. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

6. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - I have never read Austen, only retellings. 
7. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
8. The Crucible by Arthur Miller
9. A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare - We read something from The Bard every year but we never read this. 
10. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
